  • In this story, a woman was at her wits' end after the HR department at her company insisted that she needed to extend her notice period for the second time. She had initially resigned in October, but she was told that she was expected to continue working until February.

    When she did that and submitted her resignation again, HR told her that the person who had instructed her in October no longer worked there, and as such, this meant that the agreement was no longer viable and she would have to work another two months. She didn't want to stay at the job for that amount of time and sought out advice on how to proceed in the situation.

  • I already served notice period, they requested I stay a few months longer but my employer is forcing me to serve again

    Hi everyone, I need some advice regarding my resignation and notice period. My workplace is toxic af with my boss being bitchy.

  • Last year, when I had resigned(my last working day being 1 oct 2025), the HR at that time emailed me saying that I was expected to continue employment until February and that if I left before that, I would need to give at least 30 days' notice.

  • I stayed and continued working as requested. I stayed out of goodwill as there were only 3 designers in the company.

  •  • The previous HR (who sent that email) "does not exist on our team" • That email is considered null and void As per my employment contract, I must serve a 2-month notice period AGAIN What should I do?

  • I feel like absconding cuz I already served 2 months. I want to walk away

  • rodimus 147 A HR person leaving does not null and void something. Leave and if they try anything they just set you up for a nice little lawsuit.

  • rodimus 147 If you have served your contract and done what your supposed to do and they try to retaliate against you yes you can sue them.

  • rocketmn69_ Ask them for an original signed copy. If they can't produce it, start packing up your desk

  • peachyy97 Original Poster's Reply They don't have any signed copy. There was a contract I signed a long time ago.. 2 years ago which says you have to serve two months notice. I have already served 2 months in October.. I just stayed till February out of goodwill

  • rocketmn69_ Do you have a signed and dated copy of your original resignation letter and their acceptance of it? Gather all that evidence of communication, then walk away

  • peachyy97 Original Poster's Reply I have it all on email because usually everything here is operated via email. I have their resignation acceptance too.

  • auditor2 If you under an employment contract and have fulfilled exit requirements changes in HR staff are not your responsibility

  • Snoo-74562 Your original resignation is valid. Leave. They have no power over you

  • No-Figure844 Quit showing up that's a their problem not a your problem !!

  • peachyy97 Original Poster's Reply I agree, now the hr is requesting me to serve 1 month.. I offered 2 weeks but they're not agreeing. I will just not show up
